Season 6

Torquemada comes into Oz admired by the homosexual inmates. He immediately sets his sights on inmate Alvarez, whom he wants to be his "numero dos." Torquemada is also the distributor and manufactorer of a new designer drug called "destiny," or "D-Tabs," a pill form of heroin, which seem to have Ecstasy-like effects, and are extremely popular at gay night clubs. Torquemada intends to own Oz with D-Tabs and gets Italian leader Chucky Pancamo to help him push them in. Pancamo's nephew Angelo apparently worked at Torquemada's clubs distributing the drugs and Chucky goes along as to not get him exposed to the mob as a homosexual. Carmen Guerra is given some D-Tabs and he begins dancing to some techno and ripping off his own skin in the process. Torquemada presses Alvarez further to help him as he realizes that Unit Manager Tim McManus trusts Alvarez enough to search him less than the other prisoners. Alvarez still says no as he wants to make parole and wants nothing to do with Alonzo. Shortly afterwards Alvarez becomes Torquemada's cellmate. He explains once more that he refuses to have sex with Torquemada, who then claims that he is in fact a virgin and does not want to have sex with Alvarez, but rather wants to be Alvarez. Alvarez then gives into Torquemada's seductions after taking some D-Tabs. After using them, he slowly begins to touch Torquemada and the rest of what happens is up to the viewer to determine.
